In other exciting news, my phone took a dive into the toilet this weekend... I found George playing in the toilet, and in my haste to resolve the (gross) situation, I dropped my phone right in.

I was really hoping to spend a lot of time at the pool this summer before baby #2 arrives. Do you think we can handle it?
